Sorry about that, the release date is 10/20! Calendar has been updated, I assume there was a simple mistake with the initial listing which is why you saw 10/22 at first.

Found the site for the WN, and it looks like it's still updating regularly. So maybe they're just waiting for the WN to get so far ahead before the next volume of the LN. Also looks like they're restructuring it a bit from the WN, so that probably takes some time.

@master-zen-4kidgkf Cause it's a Kadokawa title. Kadokawa isn't known for playing nice with all publishers. For the last 10 years or so, they've owned Yen Press and have pretty blatantly played favorites with reserving any licenses they think would do well for YP.

The issue is that Yen Press is just one company and can't support all of Kadokawa's series which make up around half the entire LN market in Japan. So a whole lot of stuff that's highly requested doesn't get licensed.

Hopefully we can start to see this change considering Kadokawa bought out J-Novel Club which might give JNC a higher level of access to Kadokawa titles.

@someoldguy I read about half of this so far, based on your recommendation, and I'm really enjoying it. The main character has amazing analytical skills (I'm pretty sure here that her analytics are a standalone ability that goes beyond her Saint power to read someone's health status, because she can list off all the cues that clued her in on something when people pester her about how she knew - "Your step is just a bit longer on your right leg, and you tend to put your weight on your right foot when standing, yet you're a highly trained knight who should have perfect posture, which makes that unusual. That's how I figured out that your left leg was injured." - and figuring out monsters' attack patterns by observing how they fight so she can take advantage of the openings they leave, etc)

But she reads the room and interprets what others say about as well as Bakarina (i.e. she can't)

This confuses the hell out of her superiors in the knight brigade on the order of "how can someone so stupid be so smart" and vice versa, which leads to great comedy.

Volume 2 - Part 9:

[11%] garbage for food.. Then there ► Duplicate period. [28%] and visibly so;it was easy to ► Missing space. Already reported. [80%] “I’m off, dad!” Angeline shouted ► Missing period.

Volumue 2 part 5 has the image from part 4 (Mihai holding a sword to Allen’s throat) where it should have a different image (at ~70%).

EDIT: Already fixed.

Volume 8 - Part 1:

[63%] they couldn’t possibly see the. Even Hanakawa ► It should be the enemy? [93%] perhaps a dark elf with huge breasts could serve ► It should be dark-skinned to match the title (like the other chapters)? [99%] “Ootori!? Why are you here?!” ► It should be ?! for consistency.

Volume 3 - Part 3:

[42%] Urged on my Miss Micah, I stood in front of the ► It should be by. [54%] I’ve never been there before... After shooting ► It should be here.

@terabyte I forgot to reply to the later part of your comment. Yeah I know the web novel is a little different. Another change is that in the WN, Lycia's encounter with the demon comes a little later. However, aside from that and the stuff about Gown, I find the LN follows the WN pretty closely. So, while I have to wait months and months for the next volumes of the LN, I can satiate myself a bit.

@someoldguy I'm not saying it doesn't deserve a "legal" translation, as you call it, but the OP made it seem like there were NO translations of it anywhere, which we know there are. The translations were quite good, all things considered.

I'd love it if JNC could license it, but that's probably not gonna happen. The Violet Evergarden light novels are only available as physical books, too.

@elkensteyin

Not Myskaros however, the general answer would be that J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing acquisitions until they are ready to announce.

That being said, since you are quoting a comment in relation to the Realist Hero Series, I will mention that J-Novel Club has licensed and is releasing the manga.

https://j-novel.club/series/how-a-realist-hero-rebuilt-the-kingdom-manga

Since you mentioned sequel series after that, I assume this is not about Realist Hero, as to my knowledge there is no sequel series.

Thanks for the reply.

And that is an Oopsie on my part, as I think I may have quoted the wrong item in the thread. I meant to ask about the manga and sequel regarding The Sorcerer's Receptionist, which was discussed earlier in the thread and the silly me that I am didn't realize that the topic changed.

Completely understand about formally commenting on future works, however.

@masterlillyclaw said in [Spoilers] Sorcerer's Receptionist and Sequel WN Discussion Thread:

@aneliese MTL makes my head hurt so I doubt I'll ever try that unless I get severely obsessed with something (and not even Bookworm has pushed me that far, so I have doubts that anything ever could). But all your posts are fun to read and make me want to read it for myself someday! I fervently pray that it gets published one day just like the main series.

Bookworm was one of only two WN's that I ever tried MTL (the other being Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku - Mod Edit: Removed link to aggregate site.
However, since there isn't too much to this, I might just try taking a swipe at it, since I did like Receptionist, and I just kinda felt that their relationship needed to be covered more.

@aneliese with my above statement in mind, does the "sequel" continue defining their relationship?

That's a new one: an Italian author writing isekai LNs in English. The kindle version of volume 1 is only $1 and you can get a free sample so it's a low risk to try.

I like these (long) series:

Overlord, 13 books.
I think this series just keeps getting better.

Lazy Dungeon Master.
Funny series, I never get bored with it.

Campfire cooking in another world, 10 books.
This series is consistently funny. Book 10 is really nice, too.

Death March, 14 books.
Nice series, but there are too many childish characters in the books and that's getting worse with each new book.

Konosuba, 14 books.
The last few books aren't that great, I think, but up to book 10 or so it's funny. The spin-off Konosuba: Explosion with 3 books is also funny.

Skeleton knight in another world.
Epic story about a (skeleton) knight fighting horrible nation-scale evil in another world, using large-scale over-the-top magic.

So I'm a spider so what, 12 books.
I like this series, but it's very confusing to read because the timelines are so messed up that it's actually annoying. I like the over-the-top action in this series so that makes it worth it. You can just ignore the messed up timelines. In book 10 or 11 there's a lot of side-stories that are so different from the main story that it's like a completely different book. I don't like it. The last book 12 also has a lot of different stories but this time it's done well, because they're back to point for the main story and I enjoyed those. The only thing I don't like is, that the series gives many hints about the ending. I think that's just frustrating as a reader, because every time I think it's the final book and then it isn't ! The end is not near.

Reincarnated as a slime, 11 books.
Nice series about a city/nation-building reincarnation with over-the-top powers. It gets quite absurd in the last few books, though... what with a dragon-powered-dungeon and all... I'm not sure where this series is heading to be honest.

@facelessone that's a cute illustration but it makes me worry that if she keeps horsing around the bottom of her bikini is going to come off

7.5

We still had to figure out how to accept consumables and food.

I can't figure out what verb goes here, but I don't think it's “accept.” “Carry?”
